Thanks for putting the measurements.
Nice addon, but I think my wife would rather I just went with a fermentation fridge to be honest. lol
I was thinking along the lines of kettle - graduated bucket - speidel FV, that way the lack of markings won't be a problem and I'll know my volume into fermenter. It'll also help to aerate my wort well. I already have 2 graduated 30 litre buckets (full of beer waiting to be bottled...) that'll do the job. I don't normally ferment 2 at once, but hadn't brewed in a while thanks to my last boiler packing up, so did 2 batches in a row to catch up a bit.
I have to say, I REALLY like the airlock! I usually always use a blow of tube, into a 2 litre bottle with about 1 inch of diluted Star-san, and it's clumsy to say the least. Normal bubblers or 2 parts airlocks though would just blow empty with the yeasts I use though (M29, Belle Saison, M44, M41, you get the idea...), heck that's why I only used 1 inch of Star-san (more would just foam up out of the 2 litre bottle... lol). Bit of cheap Vodka in the bottom of this beast should stay put nicely though. Oh, and somebody pointed out to me, if you but a 2nd tap you can fit it to the top and use it to fit a blow off tube instead of an airlock, if for example you can't fit the airlock into your fridge...
